HOWEVER, the helmet I tried on that fit the very best was a $900 Arai Corsair-V. I don't like the faceshield lock at ALL though, that finicky shit would make me crash IMHO. I'm going to go check out the third shop and see what they have, then buy the helmet I like online (yeah, I don't give a crap about local money, I'm not from here anyway heh)
Unfortunately when I was trying on helmets the one that fit the best was a shoei x11 and the ones with graphics retailed for like 690. I was lucky enough to find one brand new for 495 so I jumped on it and love it. Ive seen some arai corsairs on clearance for like 400 so that may be something to look into in the future.
